Scientifically illiterate NewsMax host fears the Biden administration will make it impossible for trees to breathe

Brad Reed

NewsMax host John Bachman on Friday appeared confused when Biden administration climate czar John Kerry talked about technology that could potentially remove excess greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

During his show, Bachman played a clip of Kerry talking about the challenges of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as a way to lessen the Earth's temperature.

Bachman, however, seemed to believe that Kerry wanted to remove all CO2 from the Earth, which would make it impossible for plants to produce oxygen.

"If we take all the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, what're the trees going to turn into oxygen?" he asked.

what they're peddling are lies. They just say these kinds of things to keep the Grift-O-Matic running at full steam. Their followers keep sending in the donations and that's all that matters.
